Benoît Vermeulen has devoted his extraordinary talents to far more than mere directing: he quite simply conceives and writes his productions for adolescents with such verve, passion and commitment to their needs and concerns that he has inspired whole new audiences with the power of theatre and its ability to rally the young. Inventive, original, and most of all, respectful of what he calls “the mystery of adolescence,” this Montréal director, through his company Le Théâtre Clou, has made a name for himself in many countries of the world.
